AMEBievs.October 9.???Many hearts in Amcri- cus have been saddened to-day by Die ait' nouneement of the death of Mrs Mamie Tur ner, which occurred ra'lier suddenly at 5 o???clock this morning. Mis. Turner was the wife of Mr. John W. Turner, our popular and efficient telegraph operator. Mrs. Allen, wife of Mr. J. H.

He has always been considered a solid citizen, and is in good cir cumstances now. but will be the wealthiest man in the south if Ills dream is ever realized. Athens Banner. Our readers remember the report of the shooting ot Mrs. Stephenson in" Gwinnett county about six weeks ago by her steji- nephew, also named Stephenson, and the ex citement that prevailed on account of it. it has been a remarkable case in some respects, and lias served as the principal topic of inter est since in all the section around where it occurred. The most remark able tiling connected with it is that the woman has not died, though there has not been a day tvlien it was not said there was no hope of her recovery. It was thought that she must die in less than a week, but she has lingered six weeks. The same report is now made that she cannot get well. The testimony before the commiting court showed that the gun used was an old army musket. It was loaded with balls which the prisoner moulded himself. The gun moulds and one or two of the balls have been found. Since the shooting the superior court lias been in session, and an application was made to Judge Erwin to fix bail for the prisoner???s release. He said he would do so; and named $15,000 as the amount, which was a virtual denial, as there was no hope of Stephenson giving it. The judge did not intend that lie should get out merely to run away and escape justice, as lie certainly would do. The trial was not held because no one could tell the result of the wounds, and if she dies, as it is believed she must, it would not do to try him for a less of fense than murder, in the wounds the woman received, and the fact that she has survived so long there is some similarity to the case of the dead president. It has seemed impossible that she could live a week Linger at any stage of her case, and yet she is still alive. Instead of one wound as the president received, she has three, all of them in the hack near the kidneys. One of the balls is lodged in her spine and it is dan- erous to attempt to extract it for fear of her immediate deuth. Altogether the ease is decidedly interesting, and avc Avlil keep our readers posted about it as it progresses. Milledgeville Union and Recorder. Rev. A.
